There, behind fogs... consideration by the London court case of the Ukrainian debt to Russia

The week began the first hearing in the high court of london at the suit of Russia against Ukraine for non-payment of Kiev, $ 3 billion of sovereign debt. We are talking about 3 billion, the sum which Russia in the end of 2013, bought Ukraine's eurobonds under the "Fraternal" percentage – about 5% per annum. Arrivals from Russia (by the way, from the national welfare fund) of the then ukrainian government has spent on payments to employees of budget organizations. However, after coming on the wake of a coup to power of the "Maidan elites" suddenly it was announced that it was a "Bribe" from russia, viktor yanukovych.

They say, Russia decided to do the then president of Ukraine "Financial proposal" with the purpose that he refused association with the European union. Paying for some time the interest on the debt to russia, the ukrainian authorities have figured out how to save yourself from paying the entire amount of debt. Finally, it was officially announced that the debt "Is not public"; and that all payments thereon are required to. Impose a moratorium.

The idea, like, planted by the then prime minister yatsenyuk, who strongly supported in the verkhovna rada. In the end, the moratorium was really the ukrainian authorities adopted a bang, and this, according to Kiev, was supposed to be a strong argument in the international arena in favor of that to pay the borrowed funds "Is not necessary". It is worth noting that all the rules of the international financial market, the ukrainian economy after their trick with the "Moratorium", which is concealed unwillingness and inability to pay debts, had automatically receive a default rating with all the consequences. However, the "Independent" rating agencies predictable (because, to put it mildly, not always are free to make a decision) stopped the bar rating "Square" on the package level, but then – to the real level - lowering did not.

However, and obtaining new loans from "Partners" from Kiev, too, had serious problems. One of the main problems – the imf decision to delay the results of the next credit tranche in the background making the same international monetary fund solution to the ukrainian debt to Russia that is public, not private as it tries to present Kiev. In general, Russia in the high court in london to Ukraine filed. It now remains to be patient and watch how long long is this "Bagpipe".

The main question is whether russia, as the applicant, for a chance to win a case against Ukraine? if we argue from a purely legal standpoint, it is only Russia has a chance in this situation is. After all, if the imf acknowledged Ukraine's debt to Russian state (the sovereign), the court, by definition, obliged to decide in favor of the Russian applicants, obligating Ukraine to pay the bills. In a different situation (if debtor, god forbid, would be russia) would have done – and immediately "Itav" default rating and a complete rejection of loans from anywhere. But the situation is different – first of all, the case is heard in london, where Russia seems a priori side from the "Forces of evil", "Mordor" and "Hell on earth"; second, in the case it appears the Ukraine, which at all corners shouting that it was protected, because she is "Struggling with Russian aggressors. " given the fact that no international standards in the modern world do not apply in cases where it is not beneficial to the writers, it is possible to assume, that the rubber will pull up to until will not be concocted anti-russian version of the court decision.

But is still a case here? what is it and what all expects Ukraine? and Ukraine relies on lawyers who had already composed the story of how "Ukraine was forced to take a loan from russia, although Ukraine itself may not be wanted. " they say that Russia is "Doing everything to affect the agreement on evroassotsiatsii Ukraine", and therefore "Forced Ukraine to borrow money not to release in a free and democratic Europe. " well, is there not a great bike for the london judges, that the word "Freedom" or "Democracy" feel euphoric, close, sorry, to the collective orgasm. That's just the background of their own moving back movement of Britain from the eu euphoria may be selective, and in the high court, not all will appreciate the unbridled desire of Kiev becomes "European". Moreover, the high court in london understand that can create its decision "In favor of Ukraine" (if indeed made) the strangest precedent. The essence of this precedent would be that every who refused to pay on sovereign debt will be able to find a bunch of arguments in favor of his decision.

"I was forced", "Not for personal gain, but merely the will of. ", "We are not to blame, she came" - the list of those "Arguments" that are trying to get out of their legal leaky bag the ukrainian side. It turns out that any indebted economy gets right at least to bring the case on their credit insolvency before the court, and then and to delay or not to close the topic of payments, claiming that "External aggression", its own "Headache". The interests of the Russian side in the high court of london (afl) is the largest and most influential office of the debenture trust corporation. This is the structure passed to the wsl documents with the claims of Russia to Ukraine, and that dtc london's high court sees as the main "Victim".

The reason for participation in the debenture trust corporation on the Russian side is associated primarily with the fact that dtc is a management company of the private trust, which are the very eurobonds bought from Ukraine in 2013. In other words, the british dtc even from their own financial benefits interesting process, in a court victory for russia. Considering the fact that the debenture trust corporation has long been among the leading british companies whose shares are traded on the london stock exchange, the Ukraine, at least legally, can be a big problem. And choose which side justice william blair (by the way, brother of ex-prime minister of Britain tony blair) – the direction of dtc or Kiev – an interesting question.

That's just even more interesting question is how and what will you take if the process sooner or later lose (if still under the current regime)? count on the fact that Ukraine will spread to Russia on a silver platter with yellow and blue platter 3 billion "Green" as it is not necessary. Therefore, if at the time of the decision in afl no change in the ukrainian elite is not going to happen, high, what to expect – "Restructured" the Ukraine payments. And if the elites will suddenly be loyal to Russia (well, as in moldova, for example), "Kindness" might be very "Brotherly" to withdraw their claims and to provide an opportunity for debenture trust corporation to deal with the eurobonds the most.
